Development of a composite core collection from 5,856 Sesame accessions being conserved in the Indian National Genebank
This study presents ddRAD-seq data for a total of 5,856 sesame accessions that includes 2,496 accessions (a subset of 5,856 accessions) that was reported by us recently. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) short-reads over 2.16 Terabases of sequence data were generated, with each sample averaging 1.2 million reads. The study identifies a set of 1,768 sesame accessions as the CCC that captures maximal diversity, genotypic and phenotypic. This will aid researchers in trait discovery, association studies, pre-breeding, and parental selection for complex traits viz., yield, disease resistance, stress resilience, and other economically important traits.
